Capacitar es una buena idea

En clase de portugués estuvimos hablando de las prácticas atroces que existen en México a la hora de contratar gente, desde la foto obligatoria en el CV, esa vaga expresión de un racismo/clasismo disfrazado de "buena presentación" y tantas otras.


Otra cosa que las poco productivas compañías mexicanas no quieren hacer es capacitar gente, su miopía es legendaria, dejemos que sea Andy Grove quien les recuerde lo mal que hacen.

Training is, quite simply, one of the highest-leverage activities a manager can perform. Consider for a moment the possibility of your putting on a series of four lectures for members of your department. Let's count on three hours preparation for each hour of course time-twelve hours of work in total. Say that you have ten students in your class.

Next Year they will work a total of about twenty thousand hours for your organization. If your training efforts result in a 1 percent improvement in your subordinates' performance your company will gain the equivalent of two hundred hours of work as the result of the expenditure of your twelve hours.


¿Es sorpresa que el mismo malinchismo que las empresas tienen se reproduzca en los potenciales empleados que huyen cuando es posible de las horrendas relaciones obrero-patronales de la estulta clase empresarial mexicana?

To reduce bias, U.K. companies and universities will start hiding applicant names

New Windows 10 Devices from Microsoft

Our approach to hardware is to create and reinvent categories – like we did with Xbox and Xbox Live, with Surface being the tablet that can replace your laptop, with Lumia and Continuum, with Surface Hub, and of course with HoloLens being the only platform enabling you to mix holograms into your world.

Nada mal para una compañía de Software

Microsoft Devices: Do Great Things

Algunos de estos fanboys que se presumen como expertos habían declarado a Microsoft como irrelevante desde hace unos diez años, según estos genios preclaros, el futuro sería sólo de Apple, Google y Facebook.

Cuando vemos como luce IOS 9 es imposible no pensar que el Zune HD inauguró esta era de interfaces, Apple en su iPad Pro admite que la surface no fue una mala idea (una mala implementación, eso si es claro) pero es que Microsoft intenta llevar a la gente al futuro y las masas no quieren cambio, a menos que tenga una manzanita o este en la portada de Google.





Microsoft se está reinventando, ya no vivirá (solamente) de licencias de Windows y Office y esos preclaros ahora dirán que ellos nunca dudaron de la compañía de Redmond.

Writing's on the Wall - Sam Smith #Spectre




I've been here before
But always hit the floor
I've spent a lifetime running
And I always get away
But with you I'm feeling something
That makes me want to stay

I'm prepared for this
I never shoot to miss
But I feel like a storm is coming
If I'm gonna make it through the day
Then there's no use in running
This is something I gotta face

If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?


How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cause the writing's on the wall

A million shards of glass
That haunt me from my past
As the stars begin to gather
And the light begins to fade
When all hope begins to shatter
Know that I won't be afraid

If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?

How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cause the writing's on the wall

The writing's on the wall

How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cause the writing's on the wall
